Sid Lee Architecture 事务所公布了其位于多伦多 Bloor 街道的酒店改造项目，该项目为 WWorldwide 于多伦多约克维尔社区全新开业的连锁酒店。W 酒店的设计基于当地的城市与历史环境，以全新的形象彰显了其致力于成为当地城市文化新地标的雄心。通过对多种场景的重新思考，全新的酒店空间呼应了城市中心的多样性，以流动的空间体验，让人们在酒店内部就能够与这座城市“相遇”。

Sid Lee Architecture is proud to unveil its revitalization project of a Bloor Street hotel for the opening of W Worldwide’s latest property in Toronto’s Yorkville neighborhood. Based on themes derived from the city’s current and historical heritage, the fresh look of W Toronto reflects the banner’s desire to assert itself as a showcase for local culture. Rethought as a multitude of mises en scène, the new spaces echo the diversity of the urban center, and through a fluid design experience, the W Toronto facilitates an encounter with the city within its own walls.

与街道的联系

Connected to the street

“与社区的联系是 W’s DNA 的重要组成部分，将酒店与周围环境联系起来至关重要，但建筑最初的封闭式布局却为实现这一理念带来了挑战，”Sid Lee Architecture 建筑师与主要合伙人 Martin Leblanc 说道，“我们的团队通过将酒店内部与外部环境无缝衔接在一起，将其转化为城市中的连接与社交中心。”建筑师团队为酒店增添了一部能够从街道直接进入的电梯，将“联系”的理念具像化为现实。

“Connection to the community being an important part of W’s DNA, it was vital to connect the hotel to its context, but the original closed-off layout of the building represented an integration challenge,” says Martin Leblanc, architect and principal partner at Sid Lee Architecture. “Our team relied on a seamless connection between the interior and the exterior to turn the hotel into a connectivity hub.” That idea was deployed namely around architects-Alliance’s addition of an elevator accessible directly from the street.

在底层，建筑立面向街道开放，并在视觉与空间上与酒店的“日咖夜酒”——PUBLIC SCHOOL 建立起直接的联系。酒吧内，人们的休闲活动围绕着一座引人注目的圆形吧台展开，吧台台面由黑色大理石制成，低调而精致的设计与 Bloor 街道设计师商店风格相得益彰，同时又以别致且亲切的姿态邀请人们就坐，享受片刻的悠闲时光。

On the ground floor, the facade opens onto the street and allows for a direct connection with PUBLIC SCHOOL: the hotel’s café by day, and cocktail bar by night. The action is set around a casual circular bar adorned by notched black marble panels that fit the context of the designer stores of Bloor Street, while remaining approachable and inviting, and chic yet accessible.
